From the Principal’s Desk
We hope you’re planning to visit us next week for parent / teacher
conferences! There is still time to sign-up if you have not already done so.
Click here for more information, but don’t wait! The sign-up window closes
Tuesday, March 7!
Today your child brought home two flyers. If you have not seen them yet, I’d
encourage you to check your child’s backpack – there could be a lot of good stuff
in there! What exactly are you trying to find? Information about our upcoming:
 School dance! We will host our annual spring dance next Friday, March
10 from 7 p.m. – 9 p.m. Students must purchase tickets in advance with
a permission slip. Click here for more information and a copy of the
permission slip.
 Chipotle Restaurant Night! On March 13, from 2 p.m. – 9 p.m., mention
Mayfield Woods and Chipotle will donate 50% of the proceeds to our PTA.
That’s huge! Click here for more information and a copy of the flyer
(although you do not need a flyer, just tell them you’re from Mayfield!).
Have a wonderful weekend and happy March!
Sincerely,
Melissa Shindel

School News
From the Cafeteria Manager:
Please note that all checks for your child’s lunch account should be made out to
“Food and Nutrition” and not MWMS.
A Message from the Health Room
Attendance at school is one of our greatest priorities. Student learning is much
more successful when students are fully engaged in classroom lessons and
activities. Therefore, we want to encourage attendance as much as possible
unless a student is truly ill.
When students become ill during the school day, they are expected to go to the
Health Room so that the cluster nurse, Ms. Breck, and health assistant, Ms.
Mohamed, can assess the situation. This helps them get to know our students
better and also be cognizant of any possible major health issues. Having this
knowledge also helps our Health Room staff proactively address possible health
issues that could affect larger groups of people, such as influenza, lice, or other
illnesses. Our health room staff will communicate with the student's family if
there is a need for an early dismissal or medical follow-up.
If you are contacted by your son or daughter during the school day, please
encourage them to report to the health room for evaluation.
Thank you so much for your cooperation ... hopefully, this will allow us to provide
the best care possible for all of our students!
If you have any questions, please call Ms. Breck at or Ms. Mohamed at 410-3135022. You may also email Ms. Breck at: [email protected]
